While Monk still hasn’t reached the point where he can be considered in some 12-team leagues, the good news is that he’s getting consistent rotation minutes. He’s played at least 19 minutes in seven of his last eight appearances, a stretch in which Monk’s shot 50.6 percent from the field. Unfortunately, there hasn’t been much defensive production, which limits Monk’s fantasy potential. For whatever reason, Kings head coach Doug Christie has essentially decided that only one of Monk or Keon Ellis (DNP-CD) can be in the rotation on any given night. It has been Monk’s turn recently, but that could change at any time.

Since scoring 20 points in each of his first two games back after being sidelined by a sprained ankle, LaVine has just one 20-point effort over his last eight appearances. Since returning, the veteran wing has been a ninth-round player in eight- and nine-cat formats. That doesn’t align with LaVine’s ADP (61), but things could be a lot worse for those who have him rostered.

Westbrook led the Kings in scoring on Wednesday, but this was also his first game with three assists or fewer in over two weeks. This was also his first game with more turnovers (four) than assists (three) since November 26. The good news for fantasy managers is that Westbrook has been a third-round player in eight-cat formats over the past two weeks, continuing to exceed expectations.

Not only did Mobley record his 16th double-double, but he also matched his season-high with 14 rebounds. Add in the steals and blocks, and this was a good night for Mobley managers, even with the limited scoring. Over the past two weeks, Mobley has offered top-20 per-game value in eight- and nine-cat formats. The Cavaliers return home to host the Kings on Friday.

Mitchell and the Cavaliers were coasting through the first half of Wednesday’s game, but they were unable to close out the Hornets until the final seconds. With Darius Garland (toe) out, the Cavaliers have to rely more on Mitchell as a playmaker instead of just looking to him for scoring. He’s recorded six assists or more in three of his last four games, and that should be a common occurrence while Garland is out.

Achiuwa was initially questionable for Wednesday’s game. He’ll be in the starting lineup, playing alongside Russell Westbrook, Zach LaVine, DeMar DeRozan and Maxime Raynaud.

Sabonis will get a maintenance day for the second leg of Sacramento’s back-to-back set, and with Achiuwa questionable, Maxime Raynaud could be in line to start against Toronto. Dylan Cardwell would likely be Raynaud’s backup, and Cardwell is worth a look in deeper leagues as a streamer for rebounds and blocked shots.

DeRozan’s uptick in fantasy value lately continues. The 36-year-old small forward dropped 23 points in the loss to the Heat on Tuesday. DeRozan has been a second-round player in per game value over the last two weeks. We’ll see if he can keep it going against his former team the Raptors on the second night of a back-to-back Wednesday.

It was a mixed bag for Westbrook on Tuesday. The 37-year-old point guard had 22 points and seven assists against the Heat, but also turned the ball over six times and was 1-of-6 from behind the three-point line. Westbrook has provided ninth-round per game value over the last two weeks. The Kings take on the Raptors Wednesday night for the second game of a back-to-back.

Merrill is set to miss his third game in a row after injuring his right hand last week against the 76ers. De’Andre Hunter will figure more prominently with the Cavaliers’ second unit while Merrill remains out, though he’s not nearly as enticing a fantasy option as he was last season.

Ellis has missed the Kings’ last two games with a knee injury, but he’ll return to take on Miami. However, prior to this two-game absence, Ellis averaged under eight minutes per game. He’ll be available, but there is no guarantee he plays enough to be worth streaming.

Tyson wasn’t able to stay as hot as he was on Friday, when he scored a career-high 39 points. However, he was able to remain a productive option for fantasy managers. With Darius Garland set to miss at least a few more games with a toe sprain, Tyson’s spot in the starting unit feels safe. He has been a reliable producer for most of the season, and that should continue moving forward, with a trip to Charlotte on Wednesday up next on the schedule.

Hunter followed up a poor two-game stretch with two solid performances in consecutive games against the 76ers. While he was able to score in double figures once again, it came inefficiently. Both the poor shooting and turnovers limited the impact that his rebounds and free throws would have made. Hunter has never been a great option in category leagues, and now that he is coming off the bench, his upside is limited. Still, he is better than what he put together in this game and should respond against the Hornets on Wednesday.

Mitchell was the leading scorer for Cleveland and was one of five Cavs to score in double figures. However, it wasn’t an efficient shooting night, and steals aside, he didn’t contribute much value for fantasy managers. It was a tough matchup, but he also struggled against the 76ers on Friday, where he was held to 13 points on 4-of-13 shooting. After a rough stretch, he’ll look to get back on track against the Hornets on Wednesday.

Not only is Wade back on the court after a five-game absence, but he’ll be in the starting lineup. As a result, Craig Porter Jr. will head to the bench, leaving Mitchell to handle the point guard duties with Darius Garland (toe) unavailable.

Wade is back after missing five games with a left knee contusion. His return will likely mean fewer minutes for Nae’Qwan Tomlin, but Wade has not been productive enough to affect fantasy basketball this season.

While his scoring output was limited, DeRozan had a good night as a secondary playmaker. The seven assists were the most in a game for the veteran wing since December 23, when he dished out eight in a loss to the Pistons. Over the past two weeks, DeRozan has been a third-round player in eight-cat formats. He’s providing excellent fantasy value, and it’s good for those who have DeRozan rostered that the Kings play four games in Week 14.

With no Keon Ellis (knee) in the fold, Monk’s place within the Kings’ rotation has remained secure. He’s played at least 16 minutes in six consecutive games, a run in which Monk has surpassed 20 points twice. He didn’t offer much value outside of points, three-pointers and field-goal percentage in Sunday’s defeat, but Monk having a consistent role is good news for those who have him rostered.

Even with Domantas Sabonis (8/8/2 in 20 minutes) back from a knee injury, there has still been room for Cardwell in the Kings’ rotation. The undrafted rookie out of Auburn recorded his first double-double on Sunday, producing a stat line that only lacked a three-pointer. Cardwell is not a player who should be rostered in redraft leagues, but he may be worth holding onto in dynasty formats.

A 20-point scorer in three of his last four games, Westbrook’s efficiency has improved recently. Over the past two weeks, the Kings’ point guard has been close to a top-50 player in eight-cat formats. If not for his shooting 65 percent from the foul line during this stretch, Westbrook would be a top-50 player by a safe margin. The Kings play four games in Week 14, starting with a Tuesday/Wednesday home back-to-back before heading east.

Merrill will miss a second consecutive game after injuring his right hand during Wednesday’s win over the 76ers. While De’Andre Hunter takes on a more prominent role within the second unit, his overall production has not been good enough to make a significant impact in standard category leagues.

Garland sat out Friday, and Jaylon Tyson posted a career-high 39 points and the assist to Evan Mobley for his game-winning dunk. Tyson has been excellent when given additional run this season, and he makes for a priority add off the waiver wire. Craig Porter Jr. could see some additional run as well.

Westbrook fell one point shy of matching his season high for points, but it was the efficiency of his shooting that made this performance so good. He also set a new season high for three-pointers, which was enough to help the Kings win a fourth straight game. The counting stats have been consistent for Russ this year, though they could drop as Domantas Sabonis ramps up. For now, managers shouldn’t expect this level of efficiency often, but Westbrook should see enough usage to continue providing value.

Achiuwa has been starting for the Kings with Keegan Murray (ankle) sidelined. He has had a few strong performances scattered, but the last four games have been his best. During that stretch, he’s averaging 13.8 points, 8.5 rebounds, 1.3 steals and 1.5 blocks per game while shooting 61.1 percent from the floor. As long as he continues to start, he’ll have upside as a streamer, especially if he continues to play 33.8 minutes per game like he has during this four-game stretch.

After missing nearly two months with a partially-torn meniscus, Sabonis was available to take on the Wizards. Though he came off the bench, he did enough to help the Kings win their fourth straight game. He played 21 minutes and was productive during his time on the floor, which is a great sign for the fantasy managers that have been patiently waiting for him to return. his role should increase as he plays more games, and Maxime Raynaud will eventually return to playing a role off the bench. For now, it was just good to have Sabonis back out on the floor.

Mitchell didn’t do as much scoring as he typically does, but he made up for it with production in other categories. He nearly finished with a triple-double despite an inefficient night. This came after seven straight games with at least 20 points, and he scored at least 30 points in five of those. The new season high for assists will help make up for the lack of points, but he’ll look to get back on track as a scorer against the Thunder on Monday.

With Darius Garland (toe) sidelined, Porter slid into the starting unit, and while he didn’t do much scoring, he was able to set up plenty of offense as a playmaker. Porter matched his career high for dimes in the win, which was a nice boost for fantasy managers that streamed him in. If Garland ends up missing an extended period of time, Porter should be able to maintain value as a streamer, especially for teams that don’t need more points.

Cleveland was missing multiple rotation players for this game, and other starters were struggling, which made this outing from Tyson so vital. He set a new career high for scoring and had the game-winning assist to Evan Mobley. Tyson also set a career high for three-pointers. He has had an excellent second season in the NBA and has benefited from a multitude of injuries on the perimeter. The Cavs haven’t had as much success as they did last season, which can mostly be attributed to all the games that rotation players have missed. However, Tyson has blossomed and should be an important piece for them for the rest of the season and beyond.

It has been two months since Sabonis last played, but he’ll make his return to the lineup in this game. He may have his minutes managed, which could result in him coming off the bench in his first game back. However, it will be good to have him back on the floor. He’ll eventually push Maxime Raynaud to the bench, which could happen in this game.
